EFFECTS oE DROUGHT.
How Fruit and Forest Trees Are Anects
by Protraoted Dry Weather.

How Fruit and Forest Trees Are Affected
by PrOtraoted Dry Weather.
The effect Of drought on our quick.
growing field crops is readily seen and
keenly appreciated. but the effect on
fruit and other trees is not so easily
noticed or so quickly felt by the
owners. Drought usually affects field
crops only one year. but often under
mines the constitution of the tree. No
effects may be shown until one or more
years later, and then the trouble is at.
tributed to the severe winters Trees
that have been poorly supplied with
moisture through the summer become
weakened, and are much more easily
injured by severe weather in winter
1t is also claimed that the lessened
vitality Of the leaves in time of
drought makes them more ulject 10
rusts and other fungous diseases,
blight sun-scald, etc. Drought
sometimes makes the giowth
uneven. and often causes a second
growth to be made during wet fall
months. In this case tho drought
causes the tree to become more or less
inactivc-in other words to rest. When
fall rains come on, new leaf growth
takes place. the cambium layer prepares
to develop wood and bark, and the tree
acts somewhat as IL It had started out
on new summers growth. There IL
not time for the new succulent cells to
mature before frost comes, and the
cold Of the winter destroys them and
starts the tree toward premature death.
Drought In the late fall seems To do
less damage, because II only hastens
the ripcning up Of the wood for
winter. Some trees withstand
drought In our climate much bot
ter than others, because they
root deeper. Trees that arc native to
this, or q similar climate. stand drought
better than trees from a moist climate,
for three reasons; They send their
roots deep; their leaves are so con-
structed that they resist dry, hot air
and the bark resist great sun heat.
In a moist climate like that Of En-
gland, gravcly or stony lands are often

Of the orchard should be such that the
roots can penetrate il aud remain in
neycr-failing moisture. The soil around
trees Ghould not be kept bare and hard,

.lNvAsIoN oE THE sEA.
The slender MEATS By which ths Powet o
the Ocean Il Heaiated.

The slender Meaha By which the Power Of
the Ocean II Hesisted.
There are portions Of the land along
the sea-coast where the waves are al
ways fighting for dominion. The
wearing away Of the earth is very
rapid unless these places are protected
by artificial dykes or Ivy natural em-
bankments Of sand On the east coast
Of England great changes have been
wrought within few hundred years.
Where the old maps Of that coast ap-
pear incorrect, showing capes where
there are now bays, the want Of accu-
racy to-day is not due to any fault Of
the maps. Tho shore-line has greatly
changed, and villages and churches
have disappeared, or are now TO be
seen under the waves.
The most wonderful thing about all
this is the slender moons by which the
power Of the sea is resisted. A layer
Of sand of only a few inches thickness,
washed up upon the edgo Of marsh,
will bear all the pounding and beating
Of the sea in q storm, and be made all
the firmer by what II has to endure.
And yet the same sand, when IL is dry,
will drift before the wind like snow,
and will seem as poorly fitted for a
breakwater as would a snow-bank.
All along our Atlantic coast are to be
found beaches like those on the east
coast Of England, which rest upon soft
mud The means for preserving these
are as simple as the nature OF the
beaches themselves, Grasses that will
grow in the sand, and will grow no.
where else, give the only protection
that can be found, and. in most in
stances, all the protection that is
needed. The variety grown is called
Marum grass in England. The name
evidently means sea-grass.
This grass was constantly sown by
the Dutch on the sand-hills which line;
and it is altogether likely that the prac-
tice Of sowing IL was introduced into
England from Holland in very early
times. There is said to be a wide
spread notion among the people OF
Norfolk that some penalty attaches to
the gathering of Marum grass for any
purpose. This must be a tradition
from times when such laws were in
force, for there is no law providing a
penalty at present After a great
storm, in 1908, commissioners were
appointed to preserve the sea-banks on
the east coast, and it Is likely they
made local rules and regulations for
the keeping of the grass.
As nature provides very simple
means for holding the water and the
sand, so the banks are threatened from
quarter from which danger would
hardly be expected. When the water
is low the rats pierce the banks with
their holes, and these quickly enlarge
in the soft sand so that a single rat-holC
may prove the destruction Of miles oi
embankment. - Youths Companion.

with vail depending from the back
of the head. The new figure Is a
life-like portait, and the whole coin
age must be regarded as very satisfac-
tory from n numismatic standpoint.
The rcycrses Of the new coins vary

ceedingly effective design, composed
Of four crowned shields bearing the
arms Of the United Kingdom arranged
in a manner somewhat similar 10
those on the present 1orin. The
shields are separated from each other
by four scepters radiating from the
star Of the Or.er Of the Garter. which
occupies the center Of the coins The
device has been traced back TO the
time Of the Saxon Kings, and its
beauty attracted the notice OF Thomas
Simon. who modified II for the coin
age Of Charles IL.
The issue Of an entirely new gold
and silver coinage by monarch after
a reign Of fifty years is believed 10 be
unexampled. Medals have been struek
under similar conditions, but new
coinage has not been issued. No
moro permanent record Of her
Majesty's jubilee than this new coin
age can be conceived. As we have
vivid representations Of Alexander the
Great and Of the long line Of the
Roman Emperors on their coins. which
are common al the present time, long
after the majority Of their ediiices and
other works have passed away, so
future generations may trace the prog
ress Of the reign Of Queen Victoria IA

coinage. - Cht nQO Tribune.
